Boy was I excited to get this arc!
Such an interesting plot based around a woman with premonitions. It did drag a bit for me at times but the ending had great twists and was exciting.

Thank you for the ARC. This story bouncing between the past and present in the life of Annabelle. She also has these dreams that come true. Even though it was a bit of a slow pace, overall, it was an enjoyable and quick read. It had some great twists at the end. It also reminded me of my dating days and being catfished, haha.

Liv Constantine always delivers a fast paced can't put down read. Her latest, Don't Open Your Eyes does not disappoint and was the perfect book to get me out of my reading slump. Higly recommend for a quick fun read that will keep you guessing.

Thank you to net galley for the arc in exchange of an honest review.

A woman with a seemingly good life starts having nightmares, that seem to be coming true. Can she trust herself and the messages in the dreams or what is going on with her. This was an entertaining fast read, twisty and with a strong theme of who can you trust. the scenes from the past could have been mostly left out and the story would have still worked and been tighter. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Liv never disappoints, what a wild ride! I kept thinking I figured it out , but then my jaw would be hanging on the floor. So grateful to be able to read an early copy thanks to NetGalley and random house publishing.

A fast moving thriller that i think my students will really like. I think they will identity with the daughters, esp Scarlet as she struggles with self esteem, friendship, online relationships. The main plot of the dreams coming true, will also be intriguing to them. Enjoyable read 4.5

‘Don’t Open Your Eyes’ by Liv Constantine centers on a woman tormented by nightmarish visions of her future that start to come true. Once again, the author delivers a fast-paced beach read. It has some cool twists and characters you’ll love to hate. Do yourself a favor and add it to your summer reading list.

Ever since The Last Mrs. Parrish, Liv Constantine has been at the top of my list for delivering well-written thrillers. Their latest book, Don’t Open Your Eyes, follows Annabelle, a mother with a seemingly perfect life—she’s married to a doctor and has two healthy, beautiful daughters. But suddenly, she starts having vivid dreams where terrible things happen… and then they start coming true.

There’s so much I want to say about this book, but I don’t want to spoil anything. I truly think the less you know going in, the better the experience. I will say that at the halfway mark, I was convinced I had it all figured out. In reality, I had only pieced together one small part of the puzzle. This novel is incredibly original, packed with twists and turns right up to the very end.

A lot of thrillers leave me with more questions than answers, but this one wrapped up perfectly. I’m giving it four stars instead of five only because I found the motivations of a couple of characters a bit far-fetched. Other than that, this was a top-notch read—exactly what I’ve come to expect from Liv Constantine.

This was a page turning domestic thriller with many twists. I just could not put it down. There were a few different plots, which in the beginning could be a bit confusing, but keep reading as they will get revealed as the story progresses. I love this author and will read anything that she writes.

Liv Constantine is an auto-read for me ALWAYS. She never misses! thanks netgalley & the publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review

5 stars out of 5.

I really enjoyed reading this book and could not put it down. I was immediately drawn into the plot and loved the different twists and turns. Some of them were shocking to say the least. The book is told in multiple POV so we get an inside scoop on what is going on. I'd highly recommend if you are a fan of these authors!

In Don't Open Your Eyes, we met Annabelle. She is married to her husband James and has 2 daughters. Suddenly she starts getting very vivid dreams that sometimes come true. One dream, in particular, is about her daughter Scarlett. It seems someone wants to harm her so Annabelle needs to figure out how to protect her.

Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I got planted on the couch with a sick kiddo today and just happened to get the email for this ARC on Friday – meant to be! This was another single sitting read – once I started, I wasn’t putting it down. I love a thriller with multiple POVs, and I really enjoyed the pacing throughout the book. This one is right up there with The Next Mrs. Parrish for me!

DONT OPEN YOUR EYES ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. Release date 6/17/25. What would you do if you starting having dreams that were coming true? Annabelle has the perfect life, beautiful daughters, a doctor husband, a great job. When her dreams and nightmares start to show form in her life what control does she have over them? In typically LC form there are lots of twists! However, this one fell flat for me. I did leave with questions, and for some reason it just felt really long, even though it was 90 short chapters. About 60% in I just wanted to finish to get it over with vs. the twists. I know it will be a hit in the domestic thriller fan base. Thank you NetGalley for the ARc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Do dreams hold power? A question I asked myself first while reading Sara Pinburough’s Behind Her Eyes and revisited during this book. I’ve been a fan of the “Liv Constantine sisters” from the beginning and have read everything by them. Don’t Open Your Eyes did not disappoint. I’m

Annabellle and James are married with two kids. Annabelle starts to have dreams that see the future. She dreams and then it happens. The story goes back in time in college where James was a friend of her boyfriend at the time. We also know that James and Annabelle are now married. We also know that Annabelle got pregnant by her college boyfriend. And we learn that that child dies. We also meet a new client for Annabelle Chase who starts to get close to Annabelle and Annabelle has dreams about Chase. We also meet Scarlett Annabelle’s daughter who is messaging a mysterious boy. All these things are on a collision course to a juicy story on what happened all those years ago and how the pieces of this puzzle come together. Really enjoyed to trying to figure it all
out and how it ended.

A captivating domestic thriller unfolds, intertwining the lives of three women whose destinies collide in a chaotic and unexpected manner. Each intricate detail is meticulously crafted, revealing unexpected twists and turns that keep the reader engaged and guessing until the very end.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC! I was really excited to read this one as I've heard great things about Liv Constantine's previous thrillers, and I really liked the concept behind this one. Our protagonist Annabelle begins having terrifying, traumatic dreams and each time one occurs, when she wakes for the day, some piece of it starts to come true. She begins to alter routines to try and avoid the more cataclysmic happenings from her dreams, and her anxiety and paranoia grows. Her husband, James, is a doctor and has trouble believing anything that cant be scientifically proven, and a great deal of tension between them starts to bubble up. It was repetitious in parts, and in my opinion, it took a little too long for things to start happening if we're thinking of this as a thriller. Some of the writing and dialogue was cliched and choppy, but it did explore interesting themes of choice and fate, and how that all affects the lives we're "meant" to lead. I would have liked a few more answers in the end regarding Annabelle's dream, but there was a good and surprising twist in the end that I didn't see coming (though some of the other ones I did see coming), and overall, that saved the book for me.

One star. Period. Liv Constantine was once my favorite contemporary fiction author. Not anymore. Her (their) writing has declined precipitously with each new release. The first stinker was The Next Mrs. Parrish, and then Misconception, a novella. I didn’t even bother reading two other novellas they published bc of how badly the writing is. It is like night and day compared to the first three books. In those books, the imagery and descriptions were terrific and I highlighted dozens of passages on my Kindle. This latest book was an abomination. Nothing gripping, an extremely easy to figure out “mystery”, sloppy backstories, no sinister or even legitimate explanation for the premonition nightmares. This was awful. I finished in one night because I was hoping it would turn out better, but it was like reading an only available on Amazon author’s latest miss, with a prominent contemporary author’s name splashed across the cover. I eagerly anticipated every release and I have never been so disappointed.

Disturbing dreams that appear to be coming true rock Annabelle Reynolds normal solid life. Are these dreams, premonitions? Liv Constantine delivers another hard to put down title!

This was such a fun , fast paced, easy to follow thriller which is exactly what I was needing! So good!!
